Here’s another one of my hubby’s favorite dishes…we always make this one together…usually on a Saturday evening while enjoying a glass of wine. If the boys aren’t home to share the meal we save it for tomorrow’s lunch…always a winner! Continue reading
I find mushrooms very gratifying. ‘Paris’ mushrooms or as most call them ‘Button’ mushrooms are one of my favorites. This open faced sandwich is great for a Meatless Meal or even an elegant appetizer if served on a little round bread bite. Continue reading
This is one of my favorite seasonal flatbreads…perfect for those long winter lunches with your friends… Continue reading
This is similar to the first dinner I ever cooked. Being the last kid at home, (all my siblings, Linda included, had all gone off to college or gotten married). My mom, for about 2 years, had taken a moratorium from cooking and we ate out almost every night! One day after school when I was 16 I was watching MTV and flipping through some magazine of my mother’s, when I came across a recipe that caught my attention. Curry In A Hurry! I read it, walked into my mothers office and said, “I need 20 bucks”. “Why?”, she said. “I’m making dinner”. She handed me the money and I made dinner. It turned out good. I use filet now and not top round and I’ve added a few upgrades – but it’s still really good! Continue reading
I had these super tasty burgers at the Iron Pier Craft House – a Gastropub in Cape May, NJ – with outdoor seating overlooking the Atlantic Ocean – a little too chilly on these December days but a great restaurant to visit in season. When making these burgers at home I added additional flavor in the meat with a bit of Brazilian Steakhouse seasoning and created my own Bacon Jam…I also substituted Havarti cheese…end result – Delicious!

I first had these yummy Brussels Sprouts at a Redstone Grill a while ago and made a note to myself to make them for Thanksgiving this year…so here’s my version…they turned out superb! Happy Thanksgiving to all! Continue reading
When we were younger my mother was a very good cook. She was ‘self taught’ and read a lot of magazines about food. In the 70’s grocery stores in rural Pennsylvania didn’t have big ethnic sections, you had soy sauce and not a whole lot more. Today there is so much more to choose from. Well, I’ve remade this childhood favorite with a few added ingredients. Continue reading
I recently picked up a bag of dried wild blueberries and wasn’t sure how I was going to use them until I traveled down the baking aisle and saw the white chocolate chips…then it hit me – cookies! The tartness of the blueberries work perfectly with the sweet white chocolate in these yummy cookies… Continue reading
These ‘Meat’Balls are so good! I substitute these for beef when I have my vegetarian friends over…using them in sandwiches (think Meatball Subs) and over pasta (think Spaghetti & Meatballs). They’re so full of flavor that they fooled my friends – I personally think they taste way better than beef meatballs! If you haven’t given them a try you definitely should… Continue reading
